Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 367 - Very Unhappy

Chapter 367: Very Unhappy

The cultivation of Feng Ze Country and Dong Xin Country were quite similar. For many years, they had taken turns alternating between third and fourth placing.

As for Nan Xia Country, for many years, they had firmly held the spot of last place. No matter how the other countries fought each other for their lives, Nan Xia Country had stood firm, not s.h.i.+rking the responsibility of bagging the honor of ‘First Place’. Well, ‘First Place’ counting backwards….

So it was not surprising that the betting counter of Nan Xia Country was so deserted, and that the surrounding crowds had been giving Ling Chuxi and the others strange looks.

“Bet!” Ling Chuxi said to the a.s.sistant who was dozing off. She could understood more or less the meaning of the ranking of those countries on the wall, but she did not take it to heart.

…

“Bet!” No response. Ling Chuxi frowned.

…

“Hey, I want to place a bet!” Ling Chuxi was very close to beating him up.

“Are you talking to me?” The a.s.sistant was taken aback and his chin hit the table heavily. Only then did he straighten and look at Ling Chuxi and the rest uncertainly. “Can you read? Only bets for Nan Xia Country will be accepted here.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Ling Chuxi glared at him fiercely and took out gold notes. He had obviously a.s.sumed that they had walked to the wrong counter. Was the cultivation and abilities of Nan Xia Country so looked down upon by others?

“You guys need to think about this – once the gambling den takes in a bet, it will not be refunded.” The a.s.sistant looked at the huge stack of gold notes and swallowed nervously. He warned them first, in case they might regret it later.

“I know. I’m all-in for Nan Xia Country to be the champion. Place the bet quickly,” Ling Chuxi snapped impatiently. Only then did she see that besides the payout rate of being the champion, the payout rate of Nan Xia Country obtaining other rankings were also written on the wall and they were shockingly high.

It looked like in the eyes of the others, not only was it hopeless for Nan Xia Country to be the champion, there was not even a hope of them getting fourth place. Ling Chuxi guessed that only the payout of Nan Xia Country getting first place counted backwards was the most normal thing. The wall did not even have that, which meant that it was firmly believed that Nan Xia Country would be at the bottom, so they were too lazy to even release the payout rates.

This was truly pitiful. Before this, when she was at Nan Xia Country, she still felt that it was quite prosperous and rich. But now, after comparing, she realized that she had only been sitting in the well and looking up at the sky. But so what? She had already walked out of the well.

“Alright, alright, almost done.” The a.s.sistant quickly gave the betting tickets to them, muttering softly with a pained expression: “Nan Xia Country has been at the bottom every time for these past ten years. Even if they have a lot of money, they shouldn’t be using it to skip stones like this. There might be others who manage to make one skip, but there will not even be a single skip in this case. Do they really think this is paper? These are silver, s.h.i.+ning white silver.”

“Is it because you have not spoken to anyone today that your mouth is terribly bored?” Ling Chuxi heard the a.s.sistant and snarled angrily while accepting the betting ticket.

“That’s right, how did you know? I don’t even know what bad luck I have that I was actually a.s.signed to stand at this counter. Not even one person came to bet the whole day. I was almost bored to death,” the eyes of the a.s.sistant lit up as he said happily.

“Do you believe that I will beat you up?” Ling Chuxi growled. It was because of the relations.h.i.+p she had with Second Elder, Ling Yichen, the Fifth Princess, and Lan Xinyu, that she long had a sense of belonging to Nan Xia Country. Without realizing it, she had already considered herself to be part of Nan Xia Country. Seeing Nan Xia Country being held in contempt by other people made her feel very unhappy.
